[Fruityface]

Just beginning to learn about Bronchiectasis.

what does white frothy mucus indicate. Is it sputum or normal day to day ‘phlegm’ .

Are you doing your lung clearance and making sure that you are bringing up any mucus that germs love to live in. I have this sometimes and not sure why but, just know I feel better once I have got rid of it x

U may find other useful .lung clearance techniques on aluk website.ru on a mucolytic eg carbocystein to thin it,make it easier to get up? Also flutter device eg aerobika,helps loosen it,making it easier too.if you've not seen a respiratory physio,I'd request a referral.its worth doing lung clearance sessions cpl + times a day to reduce infections.bronchiectasis does produce excess mucous,unfortunately for us. I use disposable cups( & nappy bags) for mine so can see quantity,colour+consistency.they often ask how much yr getting up etc x

I get this every day, it is normal for me. I use saline in a nebuliser which keeps my lungs clean and clear. This works for me.
